A month ago, we finally used those vouchers from Sharaf DG and bought the kids a Canon point-and-shoot camera. I have been asking for regular photo updates of their life in Manila and they constantly complain about their i-phone cameras not being good enough. Now with this new gadget, I expect a weekly set of photos. Or else!
Of course, I had to take the little thing out for a spin just so I can show them the most user-friendly setting. My very first P&S was a Sony and it was amazing. I didn’t get to use the custom settings much but the quality of photos were not bad and the ease of use was outstanding. This thing, however, is a pain to control and so heavy that even if you use the low-light settings, its weight adds to the blur of the final image. I shouldn’t really complain as we practically got this for free, but having used a DSLR for the past 6 years now, I don’t understand the appeal of P&S.
